1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The oestrogen-dependent regulation of cell behaviour is realised by stimulation of specific oestrogen receptors. The classical oestrogen receptors ERα and ERβ are transcription factors, and they modulate expression of hormonally regulated genes, while the third one, GPER, is thought to be responsible for the observed rapid, non-genomic cellular response. Oestrogen dependency is attributed to a number of cancers, including breast, ovarian and endometrial cancer; however, there is still growing evidence that melanoma should also be cited as a hormonally dependent tumour. This comes from the observations of gender-related differences in melanoma progression and reports concerning the history of the malignant course of melanomas during pregnancy. Although, the observations of oestrogen regulation of melanoma progression are controversial, the effect of oestrogen should not be neglected, as the skin possesses its own hormonal microenvironment. This aspect of melanoma progression should be taken under careful consideration as it may offer new therapeutic possibilities.
